Lithium Heparin + Gel

Combining lithium heparin with a gel separator in a blood collection tube provides the dual benefits of anticoagulation and serum or plasma separation. These tubes are designed to prevent clotting while enabling the easy and efficient isolation of serum or plasma from the cellular components of blood. The gel separator forms a physical barrier between the serum/plasma and the blood cells, allowing for clear separation during centrifugation.

Description of Lithium Heparin + Gel

Contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting.
Incorporates a gel separator to facilitate serum/plasma separation from cellular components.
Typically has a green stopper to denote the presence of lithium heparin.
Available in various sizes to accommodate different blood sample volumes.
Ensures both anticoagulation and serum/plasma separation in a single tube.

Use of Lithium Heparin + Gel

Facilitates rapid clotting prevention and serum/plasma separation in one step.
Enables efficient processing by providing clear separation between serum/plasma and blood cells.
Ideal for tests requiring serum or plasma, such as chemistry panels and hormone assays.
Minimizes the risk of cellular contamination in the separated serum or plasma sample.
Maintains sample integrity and ensures the quality of test results.
The Lithium Heparin + Gel Blood Tube serves as an essential tool in the pathology lab for combined anticoagulation and serum/plasma separation in a single collection tube. This innovative design streamlines the blood collection process, ensuring efficient specimen processing and high-quality serum or plasma samples for diagnostic testing.
